Moving boundaries and bringing global electronic music trends and top quality performers to Asia, stays our all-time goal, so this year we count more than 130 names on the lineup. Supporting the development of the regional scene and engaging with the community is a priority, so for this edition, we’ve extended the Asian and Australian lineup.
